Sedona, AZ
Fall is a great time to visit the increasingly popular destination of Sedona, Arizona. Numerous hiking trails are full of lovely fall colors that you can enjoy, along with the moderate temperatures and lower crowd levels you will find here at this time of year.

You can also visit the Verde Valley Wine Trail to tour some of the area’s unique local wineries and sample a variety of skillfully crafted wines along the way.
